With my first two, I gave up breastfeeding very quickly, but the one thing I remembered was being told to make sure the babies ate equal amounts on both breasts. Well, after my 3rd baby, I did a lot more research about this, since I was determined to breastfeed him and not give up! What I learned was the the first few minutes, the babies get the foremilk, which is really watery, then after the first few minutes, they get the hindmilk, which is the thick stuff with all the calories. From my experiences and what I've researched is that it is best to allow them to empty the first breast, so they get all the hindmilk, then offer the other breast, but they may only nurse for a few minutes. Another thing is, with breastfeeding babies(from experience with mine anyway), they don't spend nearly as much time eating as when they are bottle fed! My first two kids took a minimum of 30 minutes to finish a bottle, both of my 2nd two would be and are done nursing within 10minutes!

We were stuck with Family Practice, but I went through all the paperwork and was able to get TriCare to switch them, due to the asthma diagnoses...And they have some new inhaler! Well, it's new to us! So, we don't have to use the nebulizer now, instead we use an inhaler, with an attachment. Works SO much easier! Anyway, that's my input for today! Hope everyone has great days!

Guest guest Posted March 4, 1999 Report Share Posted March 4, 1999 Jenn Sounds like Paige is getting enough. My daughter Holly only eats from one breast each feeding most of the time. This is so different from what I nurses my daughter Ellen. I am not worried because she has gained over 1 pound at her 2 week checkup yesterday.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 1999 Report Share Posted March 4, 1999 , Congrats on your healthy girl.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 1999 Report Share Posted March 4, 1999 It depends on when it is and how hungry Zaid is. I have more letdowns now that I have taken fenugreek. Wendi (no subject) Does anyone else have multiple letdowns? That came out sounding like I should have said orgasms *LOL* I usually have 2-3 per side and was wondering if I am a freak.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 1999 Report Share Posted March 14, 1999 Lori, I am sorry but I have to say nurse your son. Your husband will have much more trouble comforting him if he is traumatized. He will survive without you. But if he is feeling vulnerable from the forced weaning it isn't going to be as easy. You can make arrangements for him to either have breastmilk while you are gone or a substitute. Maybe if you keep nursing and start allowing your husband to give him bottles to get him to sleep now so they can prepare. You can leave the house if that is a problem. I would keep nursing so that you can smooth over any trauma when you get back. I think your husband is being very selfish and insensitive to you both. I think that a plan could be made for your absence without this harshness for either of you. I mean no offense. I am sure your husband is a great guy, but obviously he doesn't understand the nursing relationship. Plus you don't want you and your son to always resent him for this. Wendi (no subject) I can't remember if I have ever posted to this list or not, so please forgive me if you do not know who I am. I need help! I have nursed my son for 23 months and now have to go on a business trip that will keep me away from him for 4 nights. My husband is convinced that if he is weaned my absence will be less traumatic for him so he has basically forced me to wean him. I am very sad about this as I wanted him to wean naturally. I am also in alot of physical pain - he usually nursed 4 times - I work all day, so he would nurse when I got home, as he drifted off to sleep, once in the middle of the night, and once before getting up. If I was home during the day, he would nurse some then too. If I am out in the evenings, he has been waking up and crying for me and my husband says he won't let him touch him. He thinks if he is weaned, he will be easier to comfort. Bottom line is I am in physical pain as he has not nursed since Friday at about 5:30PM and I am in emotional pain dealing with the impending separation and the end of our nursing relationship. I tell my son, when he asks for Num Num that " Daddy says No " , which is probably not good either. Any advice anyone offers for any of this pain will be appreciated.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 1999 Report Share Posted March 15, 1999 If possible, one could take a babysitter along on a trip. That way the work can be done and the baby present on the nonworking time. We have done this in the past. It is expensive if you don't have neices, sisters, cousins who can help...but it does work out quite well. Cherie Re: (no subject) >From: Mparker90@... > >Lori, >I truly feel for you.

I let her sleep and when she woke up she ate like a horse --and went back to sleep.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 1999 Report Share Posted March 26, 1999 Jenn, Don't wake her up you will get her in a pattern of not being able to sleep for long. She will eat when she wakes up and your milk supply will be okay. If your worried pump during her long sleep. She is becoming an older baby and you should let her. She is starting to regulate her sleep try not to disturb that. I know how scary it is when your child is sleeping for much longer than usual but Zaid slept 8-10 hours a night until he was 3 months. He then started teething and hasn't really slept through the night since. Don't worry. She's doing exactly what she is supposed to. Wendi (no subject) I was wondering how long was ok for babies to sleep solid at night. For instance.. Paige (10 weeks) has been sleeping ina pattern for the last week that was starts out 5 hours solid then goes every two-three hours for the rest of the night and all day as well. Well last night I woke paige up after she had sleep solid for 6 hours! I was scared somthing was wrong when i realized the time. She ate like a pig when i woke her up. I am just wanting to know what your experiences are. should i wake her up after a certain amount of time... or just let her dictate when to eat. Will i lose my milk supply if i wait that long in between feeding. Any experiences/advice will be helpful:) thanks:) Jenn (24) DH:Andy DD:Paige (1-13-99) homepage: http://www.geocities.com/heartland/cottage/1595 Web Page I designed for DH's place of work (please check it out and sign the guestbook): http://www.rccopy.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start a new hobby.
